Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 709 - 348: Undercover Identity? Approaching the Truth? _2

The expression was somewhat fatigued.

Tang Shiyu exchanged a glance with Luo Fei.

This finally prompted him.

"Officer Lin, just earlier today, we found Zhang Chengfeng's body."

??

"What did you say?"

Lin Qingshan looked incredulous.

Luo Fei, however, answered firmly.

"Officer Lin, you didn't hear wrong. We have verified the identity of the deceased, and it is indeed Zhang Chengfeng."

"Where did you find the body?"

"Lotus Manor. When he died, his neck was broken, and there were contusions on his head. The perpetrator's methods were very skillful. It should be a habitual offender."

Luo Fei's description made Lin Qingshan's face darken.

"It seems that the murderer is likely his accomplice, trying to silence him."

"He Jinhui?"

Thinking this way, it seemed the two cases were linked.

But Tang Shiyu still had her doubts.

"Officer Lin, since you've been staying in An Yuan, didn't you think of returning to Lotus Manor to investigate?"

"Yes, if you occasionally went back secretly to gather clues, you might have discovered something useful?"

But Luo Fei and his companion held onto a glimmer of hope.

However, Lin Qingshan shook his head and said.

"It's useless. I went to investigate the manor earlier this year during New Year's Eve when everyone was on holiday."

"All possible documents and materials that could be found were almost taken care of. Wang Chuan was an old fox and wouldn't leave any evidence of his mistakes."

Lin Qingshan's words made Tang Shiyu even more depressed.

The most important thing is.

Su Jianxin and the others already started calling a moving company to organize the clutter in the manor just now.

I'm afraid their efforts will be in vain.

"Officer Lin, can I ask why you were dismissed?"

At this moment, Luo Fei suddenly changed the topic.

This somewhat distracted Tang Shiyu.

"Was it because you were investigating my brother's case that you were suspended?"

Lin Qingshan shook his head upon hearing this.

"No, I just wanted to be a good person."

"The situation back then was very complicated. If I had stayed, I would probably have ended up like Tang Zhenguang. Most likely, I would have disappeared, so I made my own choice."

As Lin Qingshan spoke, he seemed somewhat apprehensive.

Even Tang Shiyu could see that he was somewhat fearful.

So she hurried to comfort him.

"Officer Lin, from what you mean, the investigation of this case is difficult not only because Zhang Chengfeng is missing and Wang Chuan is far abroad, but also because you're worried that something might happen to you?"

"Exactly."

Lin Qingshan's affirmative response.

Instantly made Tang Shiyu and her companion realize that this case is far more complicated than they thought.

"But Officer Lin, even if you're looking for clues, you've been looking in the wrong place. If I knew things related to my brother, I wouldn't be randomly guessing."

Lin Qingshan glanced at Luo Fei.

The other party also shook his head, indicating no.

Apparently, both their investigations had hit a dead end.

"I'm sorry, Officer Lin, we didn't mean to doubt you, hope you don't mind."

Watching Tang Shiyu pull her mouth into an apologetic smile.

Lin Qingshan just shook his head.

"It's okay, I was planning to change jobs recently. Because I found out that running into He Jinhui and his group in the air conditioning company is really difficult."

"This waiting around is not a solution."

But looking at the current situation.

Even if Lin Qingshan wants to leave the air conditioning company.

He doesn't know what his next target is.

He truly has no clue.

So Luo Fei simply suggested.

"Officer Lin, how about this: let's form an investigation team together. We can compile the information both parties know. It'll also help plan the next steps."

"Given the current situation, that's the only option. But I prefer a covert investigation, without revealing my identity. Otherwise, not only will I be in danger, but the people I'm secretly protecting will be too."

Lin Qingshan said, somewhat hesitant.

Luo Fei could tell he wasn't concerned about taking credit, since he's no longer a police officer and won't be in the future.

He truly has someone he wants to protect.

"Officer Lin, the reason we started investigating the case from back then is because recently, Miss Tang purchased Lotus Manor. Moreover, it seems one of Wang Chuan's lackeys has already approached her."

Luo Fei's words.

Caused Lin Qingshan's pupils to quake instantly.

"Miss Tang, they've approached you? What's that person's appearance and characteristics?"

Lin Qingshan was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

Undoubtedly, this is a significant breakthrough for the years he spent in vigilant waiting.

Tang Shiyu also straightforwardly suggested.

"Mr. Lin, actually, our company installed surveillance cameras a few years before my father's death. That person came a few months ago, so our surveillance should still have the video backup. Why don't we go and retrieve the footage together?"

"Alright."

Lin Qingshan agreed readily.

It was as if he finally saw a ray of hope.

Ring, ring!

But at that moment.

Luo Fei's phone rang.

"Officer Luo, we found a body."

Su Jianfan's words made Luo Fei somewhat excited.

"Where?"

He opened the speakerphone, signaling the others to keep quiet.

Su Jianfan, too, seemed a bit startled.

"Right by the artificial pond outside Lotus Manor, under a small bridge, in a suitcase, and it's been there for years."

Su Jianfan's words were both hopeful and made Tang Shiyu anxious.

She was truly afraid that if she heard news of her brother's death, she might not be able to withstand it.

Luo Fei and Lin Qingshan had seen many scenes like this.

So they were relatively calm.

They immediately made arrangements.

"Su Jianfan, first protect the scene, don't let anyone get close. We'll be there soon."

"Alright."

Just after agreeing.

Luo Fei told Tang Shiyu.

"Tang Shiyu, you head back to the office first and check the surveillance footage with Old Han and the others."

"I'll go to the scene with Officer Lin. He has years of investigative experience and has been following this case for a while. It can expedite the process of identifying the body."

Tang Shiyu's heart was pounding at this moment.

She was so excited that her fingertips were cold.

Because the previous discovery wasn't her brother's body, but this time it might be different.

After a while.

As Luo Fei and Lin Qingshan got out of the car.

Lin Qingshan was also somewhat concerned.

"Officer Luo, lending me this police uniform, isn't it against the rules?"

Lin Qingshan, having been within the system before.

Knew the rules well.

Ordinary people, other than officers, aren't supposed to wear police uniforms casually.

But Luo Fei shook his head and said.

"If you don't pretend to be my colleague, going near the scene would be even more suspicious, right? How would you observe the body up close?"

Luo Fei's reminder left Lin Qingshan speechless.

He had no choice but to put on gloves and a mask.

Following Luo Fei, he entered Lotus Manor.

Rustle!

At this moment.

The sound of leaves rustling came from behind them.

But when the two alertly shone their flashlights in that direction.

There was nothing there.

"In this wilderness, it could be a wild rabbit or a water snake, perhaps?"

Luo Fei said as he moved forward.

But Lin Qingshan couldn't help admiring.

"Officer Luo, you've only been on the force for a few years, right? Yet your reaction speed is really fast, just like a seasoned veteran."

Luo Fei smiled without responding.

More than just being quick to react, he had used his infrared vision gene to see the person clearly — a young girl in her teens, wearing jeans, with a faint milky scent on her.

But because she was alone.

So Luo Fei didn't feel any fear.

"Sister Deng, how is your examination going?"

"The preliminary judgment on the body is out. Cause of death was contusions and dismemberment. Interestingly, this body also has an identity document belonging to Zhang Chengfeng."

As Luo Fei and Lin Qingshan reached the open space at the manor's entrance.

Deng Wen was holding a flashlight, examining the body with her assistant while taking photos.

Although this body was also many years old, because it was stored in the suitcase.

The surface still had some skin and hair tissue, relatively well-preserved.
